Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany

The Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany (MLPD) is a communist political party in Germany, founded in 1982. The party's founder, Willi Dickhut, was expelled from the German Communist Party for criticizing the Soviet Union's economic reforms during the 1960s, and he also opposed the return of capitalism to China. The MLPD advocated the creation of a dictatorship of the proletariat, ending capitalism, and the creation of a classless communist society. The party had miniscule support due to its support for Stalinism and Maoism.
